Notes:

• On Monday night one of my students who’s been out for a while with her leg in a cast came in for a workout (even though she’s still in the cast!). I was glad she came in because she has such a fun personality, and I enjoyed modifying the workout for her.
• This was my first taper week – last week I ran sixty-seven miles, this week, I ran forty. It feels weird, but being busy getting the house ready for my parents to visit, then visiting with them helped. A bit. Six more days until the marathon! I am so excited!
• I planned to ride with my Dad this weekend but the weather wasn’t cooperating (rain) when we had the time to do it. Ugh. I wonder if we’ll have time Tuesday morning before they leave.
